Join Bausch + Lomb as a GMP Utilities Operations Technician III

When your shift starts at 6:00pm, you step into the control room and bring our manufacturing campus to life. You scan BMS, EMS, and SCADA dashboards, acknowledge alarms, and stabilize conditions with a few precise adjustments. Minutes later, you are on the floor inspecting boilers and chillers, sampling high-purity water, and verifying HVAC performance in cleanrooms so our teams can produce safely through the night. By 6:00am, you have logged activities in the CMMS, handed off a clear status report, and left utilities primed for the next rotation.
